Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue (Greek, “ten words”), are divine laws revealed to Moses by God on Mount Sinai and engraved on two stone tablets. Appearing in both Exodus (Exodus 20: 2-17) and Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 5:6-21), as well as in the Book of Mormon (Mosiah 12:32-37; 13:12-24), the commandments are numbered differently depending on whether they appear in a Catholic, Protestant, or Hebrew Bible.

They are featured prominently in Judaism and Christianity. The commandments are divided into duties toward God, one’s neighbors, and society. Their prescriptive and unconditional language indicates their important status. They function as general stipulations decreed by God as part of God’s covenant with the people of Israel. Mormon doctrine teaches that these commandments are still in full force today.The Ten Commandments are listed below:
